    Summary

    Eddie Diaz doesn’t remember most of his life going by. Buck’s been talking about it lately (when he actually talks to Eddie about things that matters), about how fast they’re getting older. Eddie isn’t sure he’s ready to be satisfied with what he’s done with life. Eddie isn’t sure he’s done everything he wants to yet, but maybe he should try to.

     

    Eddie trying to do things that make him happy, but he sucks at it.

    Or, how Eddie Diaz mistakes chest pain for happiness.

    Summary

    It's not silent, not really. There are distant sirens, coming from somewhere up above. There are the rustlings of leaves from the trees surrounding them. Beside him, the ragged, desperate breath of Eddie trying not to cry.

    “Eddie…”

    Eddie laces their hands together and gives a weak squeeze. “We’re okay, Buck,” he says like he’s repeating a mantra. There’s blood on his teeth. Buck gags. “The ambulance is coming. We’re gonna be okay.”

    or: Buck and Eddie wreck their car.

    Summary

    It takes Chris longer to come home.
    Like, a lot longer.

    -Or-

    Family cycles, cycle.

    -Or-

    Pregnant.

    He got his girlfriend pregnant.

    “Fuck,” Chris agrees, a sick feeling settling in his stomach. They were so careful.

    Well, as careful as two 20-year-olds can be.
    And damn. He’s 20.

    Made it one more year than his parents, at least.

    Summary

    “Where’s Christopher?” The question ripped out of him before he could think. “Is he okay? Did I – did I lose him?”

    Buck’s face fell. “Chris is fine. He’s in Texas, remember? With your parents.”

    Texas. Eddie’s mind snagged on that. It didn’t feel right. Not at all. “No,” he muttered, shaking his head despite the rip of pain it caused. “No, that’s- that’s not right. We came here from Texas years ago. He came with me. We’re here now. He’s here.” He tried to sit up, but the effort sent his body crashing back against the pillow.

    “Eddie, stop.” Buck’s voice turned firm, but not angry. Just scared. “Chris isn’t here, but he is okay. He’s not lost. You’re here with me. Chris is in Texas. He’s safe, I swear.”

    OR

    The fallout from a major head injury blurs the lines between Eddie’s past and present, forcing him and Buck to confront an uncertain future together.

    Summary

    When he sits back down at the head of the table, he kisses Gregory on the cheek. “Do you want to make a wish too?”

    Gregory gurgles, entranced by the flames of the eighteen candles, tears still drying on his reddened cheeks. Gregory rarely cries—a trait that does not run in the family, something the older four make a point to remind Eloise and Francesca—but when he does, he seems to pick the worst moments.

    Anthony wraps one hand around Gregory’s tiny fists as a safety precaution, and he reaches across the table, tugging the cake closer to them. He mimes it once before he starts blowing out the candles. Gregory copies him with a joyous coo.

    And, mid-laugh after Gregory manages to take out precisely one of the candles, Anthony realizes he does need to make a wish, and he has nothing he wants to wish for. So, he wishes for more of the same.
